OVERALL: Draw
Specs are very close. R1 is a proper NTSC transfer, while the Australian release has also PCM stereo track. 5.1 remix is reportedly very mediocre.
Notes from the IMDB: "To receive an 'X' certificate the BBFC required cuts to the final print (all later releases feature this same print):
- Full-frontal shots of 'Sue Catwoman' in Malcolm McLaren's bathroom were optically enhanced to remove images of her lower regions (banned under the Protection of Children Act).
- A long shot of her was cut by adding black panties to cover up the offending area.
- The cinema scene was also cut by removing shots of Steve Jones's genitals during the sex scene with the Brazilian girl.
- Mary Millington's visible pubic area in her sex scene with Jones.
- A shot of Sid Vicious waving a flick-knife was moved back into the sequence to avoid equating sex with violence.
- The BBFC also demanded the inclusion of newspaper headline footage referring to the deaths of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen." -
CUTS:
- R0 Australia- Sony Pictures Home Entertainment - No cuts, but please see notes (100:14 PAL). Transfer is an NTSC-to-PAL conversion.
- R1 America- Shout! Factory - No cuts, but please see notes (100:07 NTSC).
